Detailed Solution

As the two cells oppose each other hence, the effective emf in closed circuit is 15-10=5V and net resistance is 1+0.6= 1.6Ω   (because in the closed circuit the internal resistance of two cells are in series)
current  in the circuit=I= effective emf /  total resistance = 5/1.6 A
The potential difference across voltmeter will be same as the terminal voltage of either cell
Since  the current I is drawn from the cell  of 15V 
V1=E1Ir1 =1551.6×0.6=13.125V
